About this site

In September 2008 I visited Leila Khaled in her Amman home to conduct a series of interviews. In the course of researching my biography of Khaled (published by Pluto Press in May 2012), I found innumerable interviews, articles, books and photos of or about her, but a surprisingly small amount of information that went beyond the focus on her 1969 and 1970 hijackings. I also found a lot of people who seemed to want to know more. I hope this site – which is really just a hub for lots of other links – will provide some of that information, alongside the biography. If there’s anything you think is missing from the site, or which is incorrect, please get in touch via my website.

Please note that this website is a work in progress and will fill up slowly (not too slowly, I hope). I’ve started with the pages that I have the most easily added material for, so if you can’t find what you’re looking for do please come back.
